2026 2026 Wellness Wednesday August This month, we proudly celebrated Wellness Wednesday with a focus on healthy living, nutrition education, and making nutritious choices easier and more enjoyable. The cooking demonstration and education session was led by Tabitha with the YMCA, who shared practical tips and delicious, healthy recipes with our community. Participants had the opportunity to learn about healthy living, explore simple ways to incorporate nutritious foods into their daily routines, and enjoy tasting the recipes together.
